"Ahhhhhhhh," I shrieked.
Bill, my step-father, and my Mother were dead in their bedroom. Cant be happening,
I repeated in my head again and again. Distantly,I heard running feet on the second floor.Eve-
rywhere seemed like a horrible place to hide.
Freak,freak,freak,I panicked in my head.
"Go," I muttered to my legs,hoping they would obey.
Horrifying as the muder scene was,I tore my eyes from it and ran into the closet. I clamped
my hands to my mouth to muffle my hard breathing and I watched throught the creak
in the closet door.
Jeez,please dont let me die,I thought as soon as a dark figure walked into the room.
Knowing that I probably wouldn't survive,I whimpered. Looking through the creak in t-
he door,I saw the figure walking towards the sound I made. . . towards me. . .
My name escaped his lips when I heard him whisper,"Mealnie."
No,I thought in my head as I recognized the all to familiar voice.
Outside,I heard the cars zoom by. Pushing the door open,Owen grabbed a handful of
my hair.Quickly, he dragged me out of the closet as I thrashed on the floor.Rapidly,Owen pull-
ed me off of the ground and choked me against the wall.
"Stop," I choked out before fainting.



Tree's were the first thing I saw when I gained consciousness again.Uncertain of where
I was,I got up from the forest ground.Violence,I thought,Owen was violent with me. . .
"What happened?" I whispered to myself.
Excluding the things that happened with Owen,I started to think of my parents. Yellow
leaves fell to the ground.
Zzzzzzzz, an annoying bee flew by my ear,but ignoring that fact. . . how will I get out of
here?
